jay cassario test of SL

CONCLUSION
This is the most difficult review I've written, and for a few different reasons. This is a new line of cameras, the very beginning stages of a new direction for Leica. I absolutely love what they did with the SL and that they waited until they had a winning product rather than start a new line just to get in the race only to release upgraded models every year after. The SL is a model that can last new tech for a few years, and they really did design a full package mirrorless system that does it all and does it very well. They don't need 3 different models to appeal to every different photographer out there. With that being said (the big BUT here), is that with only one lens available right out of the gate, it's a tough sell to photographers like myself.
For this review, I tried my best to give you a good insight as to what the SL system can do. I know there are photographers that are tired of seeing dynamic range tested to extremes and pushed 5 stops, and sensors pushing crazy high ISO with reviews pixel peeping which one edges out the other. With this review, I wanted to show you exactly what this sensor is capable of, and bottom line, it gets the job done. It also makes it extremely simple to get it done, making a system that is a joy to shoot, unlike the Sony which feels more like a small computer in my hands.
Being that my photography pays the bills and puts food on my family's table, justifying new gear purchases comes down to several factors. Price is a big one, and I wasn't told the price of the SL until a few minutes ago. I know some of you look at that price, shake your head, and say no way. However, if you understand Leica and know the quality of products they offer and know the craftsmanship that you get for that price, $7450 should be exactly what you should expect. Each SL is put together by hand, just like their M models. Remember, I shoot the M system and invested a lot into it. If anything, this price comes in $500 cheaper than the Leica M-P (240) back in August of 2014. Yes, I completely understand that sounds high to a lot of you, it is, when compared to less expensive systems.
Leica obviously understands this, and they pride themselves on being a high-end product designed for professional photographers that can afford to invest into it. Just like high end sports cars, they know that not everyone can afford them. They know there are cars at a quarter of the price that have 4 wheels and an engine that can perform very well. Leica is cool with that; they charge more money for other reasons, and high end performance is all part of it. So, while I know there will be those who criticize the price, it's exactly where I expected it to be.
